by which the wardrobe may be closed at the back. A spring bed bottom 4 is attached to the members 2 and 3.

member 1; It is apparent that the member 2 might be otherwise hinged or connected with the member 3.

co-extensive with the bed.

Another object is to provide convenient means for swinging the back forward and turning the same to form a part of the bed.

Another object is to provide means which will be automatically operated by the movement of the back member to extend the arms to form foot and yhead boards.

Other objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description and the invention will be more particularly pointed out in the claims.

A plate 16 is attached to the member 1 at each end and the arms 14 and 15 are pivotally connected to these plates. The member 13 is upholstered with springs 17 and cushion 18.

19 at each end.

When the device is become the head and bed may be provided converted into a bed the foot boards.

arms 19 Figure 1 is a vertical cross-section of the article of furniture used as a settee and wardrobe. Fig. 2 is a similar view, showing the seat raised to make the Wardrobe accessible. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the device used as a bed, the arm being removed. Fig. 4 is a broken portion of the device, showing a vertical section of one arm and the sliding section. Fig. 5 is-a broken plan view, illustrating the sliding sectional arm and the swinging arms for moving the back member.

Similar characters of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

This invention has a wardrobe member 1 which constitutes a base for the article of furniture. Above the when the device is used as a bed, the sections 20 are drawn out as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. It is apparent the arm 19 and the bar 22 being pivotally connected to the arm 15 which is adjacent to the arm 19.

to the arm 14 which is adjacent to seat section ior access to turned forward to iorm a bed, the link bars 2l and 22 move the sliding sections oi the arms orward and thus orm oot and head boards or the bed. When the back member is moved backward the link bars move the sliding sections oi the arms back into position ior the settee. The davenport is thus provided with extension arms so that when used as a bed it will appear as a bed7 having ioot and head boards. The extension 3 at the back oi the davenport co-operates with the member l and the member 13 to orm a'wider bed. 'lhis extension also makes it possible and practical to close the back end oi the wardrobe. i

The extension 3, the seating member 1S have no side pieces form hard ridges when the device is used as a bed, but each oi these members have triangular braces 24 at their ends to make the trames oi these members firm or rigid. The construction shown permits the raising oi the the wardrobe and the holding oi the same open by the adjustments shown Without moving davenport away from the wall and without lowering the back member. The extension arms oi the davenport provide means or forming oot and head boards which will be co-extensive with the bed when ormed without moving the davenport away trom its accustomed place, as by the wall. Neither is it necessary to move the davenport away irom the wall to form a bed. The extension oi the Wardrobe member to support the extension 3 makes a wider bed without making a seat too wide because the extension reaches closer to the back line oi the davenport and extends under the movable back member oi the davenport. The extension 3 does not orm a part ot the seat, but by reason oi its location it does form a'part oi the bed,

Having ully described my invention, what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters latent, is,-

1. A davenport having a wardrobe member constituting a support, a seating member normally resting on said wardrobe member and pivotally connected thereto, an extension co-operating with said seating member to close the wardrobe and to form part of a bed, a spring bed bottom and a mattress each co-extensive with said extension and said wardrobe member, an upholstered member constituting a back, and means for swinging said back into p0- sition to form a part of a bed` 2.
